Travel Blogs from Solvang
Lunch is on me...
... array of beautiful items all tempting and all stayed within the walls of this lovely shop. Wine tasting was an option that - wait for it - we did NOT avail ourselves of in spite of quite numerous opportunities. Don't be too shocked. With this nasty cold in my chest, alcohol is not so appealing!! Besides, we were on yet another mission!
But first lunch at the Red Viking. Meatballs, gravy, mashed potatoes and red cabbage...and sausages for some. ...
Cruising California coast
... 5 commercial
retail units that was required during development permitting because they front on main-ish artery zoned
for commercial activity. Now after 10 years the commercial areas have been paid
off from the rentals which will now contribute to the community's cash flow. A
lovely bunch of people, they remind me a lot of the Prairie

Santa Maria to Solvang 40 miles
... so had to settle for an arm holder. Not a bad cycle out getting hot & hilly but then disaster, first puncture - it's the old tyre that was on the bike when Neal bought it on Craig's list & always looked ropey. Luckily Peter had brought a new tyre along so changed it & inner tube but while we were there on the pavement a sweet old lady pulled up to ask if we were Ok as she had her bike in the back of her car. Then a ...

We all complained a little, but it wasn't that bad. Once we made it to the top, we could easily understand why people went through the effort.
What a view! We lingered at the top for a while, and then ...
Surf's Up in Sunny Santa Barbara
... planning on stopping at a place called Cojo Anchorage just past the point. The guide book we use for reference painted it as a great stop. Well it was sorta the equivalent of pulling ones motorhome over on the Autobahn and setting up camp on the side of the road. The wind began to blow and the anchorage didn't look like any place we wanted to try. The two sailboats wrecked on the beach also didn't give us great confidence. After a ...

In this New York Times bestseller, the author of Assassination Vacation "brings the [Puritan] era wickedly to life" (Washington Post). To this day, America views itself as a Puritan nation, but Sarah Vowell investigates what that means-and what it should mean. What she discovers is something far different from what their uptight shoebuckles- and-corn reputation might suggest-a highly literate, deeply principled, and surprisingly feisty people, whose story is filled with pamphlet feuds, witty courtroom dramas, and bloody vengeance. Vowell takes us from the modern-day reenactment of an Indian massacre to the Mohegan Sun casino, from old-timey Puritan poetry, where "righteousness" is rhymed with "wilderness," to a Mayflower-themed waterslide. Throughout, The Wordy Shipmates is rich in historical fact, humorous insight, and social commentary by one of America's most celebrated voices.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
Vowell's account of the post-Mayflower Puritans of New England and their influence on contemporary American culture over the centuries is thoroughly enjoyable in print. But hearing her ironic but passionate little-girl voice making history accessible and providing humorous and often trenchant present-day asides, as she did on NPR's This American Life, is even better. In addition to fleshing out history with extensive quotes from journals and other documents of the time, Vowell has assembled a sizable cast of co-readers, including Eric Bogosian, Peter Dinklage, Jill Clayburgh, Campbell Scott and Dermot Mulroney. Some narrators feel like stunt casting, although there's a lovely cameo by Catherine Keener, whose calm, self-contained voice is perfect for Anne Hutchinson on trial. Vowell and company (aided by Michael Giacchino's musical score) make for pleasurable listening. A Riverhead hardcover (Reviews, July 28).

What People are saying about this
"[Vowell's] a complex blend: part brilliant essayist, part pop-culture-loving comedian and a full-time unabashed history geek. The mixture makes her both proudly pointy-headed and forever entertaining."
-Seattle Times
"Sarah Vowell lends her engaging voice and keen powers of observation to a work of social history...Provid[ing] a glimpse of what life was really like for the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the founders of Plymouth."
-Los Angeles Times
"Vowell's words crackle on the printed page...smart, quirky and unabashedly incendiary...Vowell is very funny. She is generous as she wrestles with the moral intricacies of our nation's beginnings and how Puritan contradictions inform our sense of American exceptionalism today...The Wordy Shipmates is more than a punk-ish twist on our brave, verbose, tortured forebears, living in their new colony like 'an ashram in the woods.'"
-Cleveland Plain Dealer
"For those of us who'd rather harvest our history lessons from The Simpsons than the History Channel, Vowell is a latter-day hero...Fascinating."
"Vowell...reads history with attitude, humor and sensitivity."
-Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"[Vowell exercises] her trademark sweet, silly, arch sense of the incongruous ways we memorialize the American past."
-Chicago Tribune

Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.
Kudos to the Barton County Sheriff Dept., the Great Bend Police Dept., and the Kansas Bureau of Investigations for the efforts that have paid off in past weeks with several drug busts across the county.
Pawnee Rock City Council met on Monday, July 6 at 7 p.m. at the Pawnee Rock City offices, with Council President Deb Bader leading the meaning due to the absence of Mayor Linda McCowan.
At about 4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon, a three vehicle accident occurred on Hwy 96 between Great Bend and Ellinwood. Barton County Sheriff and the Kansas Highway Patrol were both on the scene. An eastbound truck towing a horse trailer lost two tires which collided with an eastbound van and a westbound SUV. The windshield of the van and the grill of the SUV were smashed. It is unknown at this time if there were any injuries. The roadway was closed down for about 10 minutes. More details to come.
Gerald Kenyon joined the United States Air Force out of highschool, and in 1964, he completed training as a weapons mechanic at Lowry Air Force Base in Colorado. A short while later, he was sent to Vietnam where he served a tour of duty, stationed at DaNang Air Base where he loaded guns on a Republic F-105 Thunderchief.
Garments were scrutinized, outfits evaluated, and decision making skills questioned Wednesday morning. The halls of Trinity Lutheran Church's education wing were filled with 4-Hers of all ages dressed in an assortment of outfits from the simple to the simply elegant and everything in between. These participants in clothing construction, fiber arts and buymanship projects in the county's 4-H clubs underwent judging of their projects, leading up to the moment they could take the stage at The Crest Theater in Great Bend later that night for the annual 4-H Fashion Revue, marking the beginning of Barton County's fair ...
Last week, summer meals ended in Great Bend for youngsters participating in the free summer lunch and breakfast program at area elementary schools. For the past four weeks, they've had access to nutritious meals, but now parents will need to provide those meals for their kids until school starts mid-August.
With wheat harvest underway, it's time to take a break and have some fun, said Patty Horton of Hoisington Main Street. Saturday afternoon, starting at 2 p.m., HMS will host Hoisington Fun Day. Sponsors include the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #23, First Kansas Bank, Cates Carquest, Manweiler Chevrolet, A & F Enterprises, City of Hoisington EMS, Police and Fire Dept., State Farm Insurance - Kathy Burt, Roadway Inn & Suites, and The Lodge Micro Motel.
Hoisington's City Council agreed to call a special meeting Tuesday evening to discuss altering the city's ordinance to allow fireworks to be discharged on both July 3 and 4, following suit with the Barton County Commission's Monday decision. The county commission's decision applies only to unincorporated areas. Some, but not all, cities have been following suit. In order to allow the extra day, the council would need to approve the change, and it would need to be printed once in the official city newspaper, The Hoisington Dispatch, two weeks prior to the date. With the Dispatch ...
According to Duane Reif, manager at Hoisington's United Ag Service, The high temperatures and wind are working in concert with farmers who are well on their way to getting the 2015 wheat harvest cut and transported to elevators all around the county.
The USD 431 Board of Education decided in favor of hiring a food service company to manage the school lunch and breakfast program at a savings of nearly $100,000 for the coming school year. With the specter of budget cuts looming makes this 80 percent cost cutting measure particularly significant.
Monday, June 8, the Claflin City Council met and agreed to pay the back taxes and write off the cost of demolition of a house located at 304 Albro. The demomolition expense is expected to be $2,000.
Being chosen to be the class valedictorian will carry more meaning at Hoisington High School in the coming year, thanks to clarifications made to the honor at a special meeting of the USD 431 Board of Education Wednesday, June 17 at the central office.
Parents of students attending Hoisington Middle and High Schools take heed. The USD 431 Board of Education met, discussed, and approved amendments to the district's dress policy on Wednesday, June 17. These decisions may have an impact on the back-to-school shopping decisions that are sure to be made in the next few months, and the board hopes to avoid complaints by disgruntled parents upset over spending money on clothing that will not be allowed in the school.
Voters in Hoisington approved a bond issue to build a new elementary school, and that is really good news for the present and future students of that district. But as the news reached some readers, disappointment over the demolition of another piece of history (the existing school building) was expressed.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced the launch of a physician payment registry (www.lillyphysicianpaymentregistry.com) to help the public better understand how the company works with U.S. physicians and compensates them for their services – and how these collaborations benefit patient care.
The website allows visitors to search payments to individual U.S.-based physicians and the institutions or research organizations that receive payments on behalf of a physician. Payments are reported in several categories – including research-related payments, educational programs and other services, such as commercial consulting. The registry also discloses non-cash forms of value provided (such as business meals), as well as travel expenses paid by Lilly when a physician is performing services for the company.
These disclosures are part of Lilly's obligations under its Corporate Integrity Agreement with the federal government, and are consistent with the company's philosophy that improved transparency around collaborations with physicians can help strengthen the public's trust in the pharmaceutical industry.
"When health care professionals work together with the pharmaceutical industry, patients benefit from our combined expertise," said Jack Harris, M.D., vice president for Lilly's U.S. Medical Division. "Through these collaborations, we are able to develop innovative medicines, improve health education and better understand patients' needs. Without our joint efforts, new medicines could never reach the millions of patients who need better treatment options for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, depression and Alzheimer's."
The majority of payments reported on the registry (63 percent) are related to research, including clinical stud

Foxfield Steam Railway
The Foxfield Colliery was situated in the Cheadle Coalfield of North Staffordshire. Originally, transport of coal from the colliery was by packhorse and tramway. A production increased thoughts turned to the provision of better transport. Up to that time every scheme to build a railway to Cheadle had failed, the owners of the colliery decided that they had to take matters into their own hands. The Foxfield Railway was built in 1892-1893 to provide a link to the national railway network for the Foxfield Colliery, on the Stoke-Derby main line. The railway itself was built by local labour provided by the North Staffordshire Railway employees at weekends and supervised by the NSR (North Staffordshire Railway) foreman plate layer Noah Stanier. The railway was built with second hand material from the NSR. In order to keep the cost of the railway to a minimum there are almost no earthworks on the railway, the only notable ones being a cutting, dug through rock and a road over Rail Bridge . The total cost to build the railway was £3000. The lack of earthworks have resulted in a railway with huge gradients, running as steep as 1:19 in places and the steepest adhesion worked standard gauge line in Britain. The railway, once built, led a quiet but productive life until the eventual closure of the colliery by the NCB (National Coal Board) in August 1965.

Well, it finally makes some sense. Who could walk the Great Wall of China in those pants?
are those the sort of pants the cool kids wear these days?
Is JB the sort of person you consider cool these days?
Kid looks like he's in good shape, but he needs to keep up on his aerobics; maybe run some steps or something…
Those pants make him look like a capacitor.
or a hatching shark.
I get that joke. it took a second, but I can't unsee it now.
The pants, being carried up the stairs…it all makes sense now. He has elephantiasis of the nuts.
You're giving him too much credit.
Is it Hammer Time already? I forget to set my alarm for douche o'clock.
Sure, anybody could batwing that well if their balls hadn't already descended.
It's like one half of a wing suit… For girls…
Are these the leather jogging pants that Kanye was talking about?
Don't hurt 'em Hammer. Bieber. Whatever.
I thought the man with the 100 pound scrotum was cured.
"Look at me! I'm a Minotaur!"
I bet Bieber can shit his pants all day and never fill those things up!
This is what it looks like when i put my legs through my tshirt and wear them as pants.

Staff Spotlight
Jay MacDuffie
What do you do at Brandeis?
I am the Area Coordinator for Massell Quad and Rosenthal, which means I am responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of, and student development within, those areas. This plays out in many different ways, but the most tangible and visible way is through the work I do advising and supervising the Community Advisors in my areas. I would love to say that I have a major effect on the development of the students in my area, but most of that credit needs to go to the wonderful CAs with whom I work. Outside of programming and supervision, one of my main responsibilities as an Area Coordinator is to work closely with the Director of Student Rights and Community Standards and oversee conduct cases that arise in my areas.
I've worked at Brandeis for 2 years and 3 months (first day was July 1, 2013), but it feels like I just got here.
What do you like to do outside of work?
I love to read fantasy literature. My life changed the day I was introduced to Tolkein, Jordan, etc., and I hope it never stops having such a strong effect on me. However, I don't read every night - on a typical Wednesday night, you can find me at Joe Sent Me playing trivia. When possible, I love to reconnect on the weekends with friends from my undergraduate and graduate years at Boston College. During the summer, when I have an abundance of free time, you can find me joining a recreational sports league and (sometimes) winning championships.
Please share interesting facts about yourself that others don't know?
"Students are the Reason"
The Division of Student Life and Success includes various offices that work to enrich the student experience. These offices are overseen by the Dean of Students, Jamele Adams. Student Life serves as an advocate for all Brandeis students, strives to ensure the quality of their overall co-curricular experience at the university, and promotes opportunities for students to engage in leadership activities and to experience personal, social, and emotional growth and development.
The staff maintains a varied program of social, cultural and intellectual events during the academic year. Our staff works to build a community based upon mutual understanding and consideration. The work of student life and success reflects the commitment to our core values: citizenship, integrity, respect, civility, lifelong learning and embracing diversity.

Good if sleeping in main building. Otherwise, traffic noise may be an issue.
We were in the annexe on the first night and found the traffic noise uncomfortable and it prevented us from opening any windows on what was quite a warm night.
In fact the room was a bit musty - as if the windows were seldom opened. We were moved to the main building on the second night: much better there. The breakfast was excellent, as was the customer service. I can't comment on evening meals as we were elsewhere on both evenings.

A little tired
The room (supposedly an upgrade) was a bit old fashioned and tired.
Nothing basically wrong with it, but just reminded me of my grandmother's bedroom. Small TV with poor sound, patterned bed cover, all seemed a bit cheap. The bathroom has a shower over the bath with a curtain, you have to shut the shutters to avoid being visible to people in the carpark. OK for a one night stay, but there are better places. The food in the restaurant is ambitious but it seemed a bit beyond the chef's abilities, some strange combinations and poor execution.

'Van Dyke' DVDs spotlight Moore's comedic genius - 0 Comments
NEW YORK — Like any "Dick Van Dyke Show" fan, he's happy to catch an occasional rerun of the show while flipping channels.
"If there's nothing new to watch, I'll let the episode play out," says Carl Reiner. "I'm always pleased to see how well those episodes have aged."
Reiner, of course, holds special status as a "DVD" confederate. He created this timeless half-century-old comedy, which premiered on CBS in October 1961, fueled by his real-life experiences as a TV comedy writer-performer and devoted family man in New Rochelle, N.Y.

The Neighborhood
Originally a Dairy Farm, ours was the first home built in the area in 1966. It was later subdivided for the children of the builder, creating Walnut Place, an unincorporated section of Travis County enveloped by, but not part of, Austin, Texas.
We live in a quiet, mixed population (ethnicity, age, political, etc.) development on a greenbelt with pecan, cherry, peach, and fig trees.
Only 4 miles from Mueller District with everything from HEB grocery, Twin Liquors, Starbucks, Verts, Emergency Medicine, and and the cheapest gas in town at HEB!
NEW Le Madelaine French Cafe @ Mueller
NEW Alamo Draft House coming soon
NEW Gold Gym at Hwy290 & I-35 (also 4 miles)
Getting Around
If it's happening in Austin, you can get to it easily from our location.
Mueller District is 4 miles away (take a right from Springdale to 290 frontage road, and a left on Berkman to 51st), which gives you HEB groceries (latest flagship store) with the cheapest gas in town, Starbucks, Verts Kabaps (German Gyros), Twin Liquor, and more!
The "back way" to Downtown Austin from the Apartment is directly south on Springdale Road to Martin Luther King Blvd., which travels right into downtown. Eight minutes.
New Bus stops are being added along Highway 290E. This can connect to the light rail at Highland Mall Transportation Station and terminates at 4th Street downtown for festivals.
The Bus stops at Springdale on HWY290E, but then one half mile walk to the apartment.
We are on;
* The Republic of Texas (ROT) Rally gathering route
* Circuit of The Americas, Austin Executive Airport, and Austin Bergstrom Airport (AUS - ABIA) within 15 minutes
* US Highway 183, 290 (East), and I-35 within 4 miles
* 4 miles from Mueller Market District, Highland Plaza, and Capitol Plaza.
* Travis County Exposition Center, Walter Long Lake.
Being so close to highways leaves us with chain restaurants within 1 mile, with an amazing array of local and regional restaurants within 5 miles (please see our guidebook, and let us know if you discover a new local gem to pass on to other guests!).

I've an app that I've ported over to BB10 and it runs great. My app however relies on a unique identifier which I can get on Android, however, I want to be able to get the UUID from my Z10.
I looked online, and in order for a native BB10 app to get that, it must look into blackberry.identity.uuid and must have the following permissions.
<rim:permissions> <rim:permit>read_device_identifying_information</r
im:permit> </rim:permissions>
So is there any way at all I can get the UUID of the Z10 from my Android-ported app?
Thank you,
I apparently had the answer all along, I just didn't convert hex to decimal... also, the PIN number is somewhat longer than what Z10 claims it is.
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getBaseContext().getSystemServic
return tm.getDeviceId();
Don't forget:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
The decimal value of the Z10 PIN is 9 digits long, call it PIN.
Whereas the app returns to me 00000000000<PIN><plus an extra 2 digits>
What is the deal with the extra 2 digits at the end?

In The New Age Lyrics
Artist: King's X
Album: Out of the Silent Planet
humanity is looking for itself
the ancient wisdom taken from the shelf
a light so dark a heaven that is hell
in the new age
could it already be
in the new age
through the haze I can see
in the new age
could it happen to me
in the new age
the trap is open no one even cares
the well-disguised one hidden in their stares
disguise your lying words with love
depending on the good of man
the truth the symbol of a dove
will unmask the maker of your plans
in the new age
i see the blind lead the blind
in the new age
in the search for the mind
in the new age
but I know what they'll find

Conserve Water With a Rain Barrel
These easy-to-install barrels can save rainwater for your home and garden.
Collecting the rain that falls on your roof can help your garden and save some of your water usage. Master gardener Paul James, conservation expert Gina Hungerford and rain barrel builder Jeff Greer explain how to start your own water conservation system with easy-to-install rain barrels.
To save a little water from going down the drain, Hungerford offers a simple, efficient, low-cost method for homeowners to collect and recycle water. She suggests installing rain barrels, which are simply large containers that capture rainwater at the end of your downspout. According to Hungerford, a quarter-inch of rain falling on the average home yields about 200 gallons of water. A rain barrel can be filled within a matter of minutes during a good rain.
- Start with a large, food-quality, plastic barrel and drill a hole in the cap of the barrel with a large, 3/4-inch drill bit. While plastic is preferred because it won't rust, any large, waterproof container will work well.
- Drill a second hole nearby along the side of the container about 1 or 2 inches from the top.
- Flip the barrel over and drill a third hole into the base.
- Determine the number of pipe adaptors (male) and couplings (female) needed to span the distance from the hole at the barrel base to the outer edge of the barrel.
- Wrap each threaded adaptor end of piping with plumber's tape for a watertight seal.
- Screw the sections together, making sure they're secure and tight.
- Attach a curved coupling to the hole on the barrel base and connect the additional adaptors to the curved section. Join a spigot to the end of the attached pipe section. This will allow you to control the release of the collected water.
- The hole on the side of the barrel is for the spigot. Secure a small piece of PVC pipe through the hole to connect the spigot.
- Join the spigot to the pipe.
- Attach a garden hose to the spigot.
- To make a water collection funnel, cut a piece of window screening a little bigger than the PVC coupling and secure it with a hose clamp.
- Slide the pipe into the large hole in the barrel.
- To attach the rain collector to your house, find a location that is level. Remember that when the rain collector is full, it can weigh more than 400 pounds, so it's important to place it in a level location to keep the barrel stable.
- Place the rain barrel on stacked cinderblocks to raise it off the ground. This provides room underneath the barrel for the release spigot and a watering can to access the rainwater. Make sure the cinderblocks are stable.
- About 1 or 2 inches above the barrel along the gutter, cut out and hinge an elbow section.
- Fit the base of the section with a metal screen.
- Place a pad on the metal screen to soften the sound of rain hitting the metal.
- When the barrel is full, the downspout can be hinged closed to stop the flow of water to the barrel.
- Because most rain barrels hold only 55 gallons of water, you can stretch the garden's water supply even further for those dry summer months by adding additional barrels. Just make sure to redirect the surplus water.
- When you install your rain barrel, add an overflow pipe, so that excess water can escape. Make sure that the overflow pipe is pointed away from your home's foundation.
- Always keep a lid on your rain barrel to prevent any curious children or animals from toppling in, as well as preventing any potential mosquito populations from exploding.
- If you treat your roof for pests or wood, be sure to unhook your rain barrel for at least two weeks.

Death from chronic pyelonephritis of several girls with otherwise normal urinary tracts has focused our attention on the importance of controlling bacterial infections of the kidney. At the same time, difficulties encountered in the management of kidney infections were emphasized by the stormy courses of six girls with frequently recurring pyelonephritis. Although these children had anatomically normal urinary tracts and each infection could be eradicated by appropriate therapy utilizing information gained from urine cultures and sensitivity studies, reinfection invariably followed. Prior to referral, several therapeutic approaches had been tried without achieving permanent remission, including one month of hospitalization for treatment with massive doses of antibiotic combinations. Finally, a program was instituted for the purpose of preventing recurrences.1 After the infections had been cleared by appropriate antibacterial drugs, the patient was started on methenamine mandelate and, when indicated, a urinary acidifying agent. This paper describes this prophylactic program and its

MANASSAS — Homosexual-rights activists yesterday marched through this historic downtown and past the home of a Virginia legislator to protest a law that bans civil unions.
The law, sponsored by Delegate Robert G. Marshall and set to take effective July 1, amends Virginia's Affirmation of Marriage Act to prohibit the recognition of same-sex "marriages" performed in other states.
Carrying signs with slogans such as "Stop The Hate" and "We Are Your Neighbors," about 50 activists were on hand for the event organized by Prince William County's chapter of Equality Virginia, a homosexual-rights group. Mr. Marshall is a Prince William Republican.
Several marchers were not homosexual but sympathizers.
"We're here because we can't stand bigotry," said Mona F. Shaw, 72, who marched beside her husband of 41 years, Donald, 71, and a contingent of others from the Bull Run Unitarian Universalist Church.
Before the measure was passed by the General Assembly in April, Gov. Mark Warner, a Democrat, tried to delete the phrase "partnership contracts" from it, saying it was unconstitutional. The governor failed, and the bill passed without his signature.
The measure raised an outcry from activists. Equality Virginia planned a legal challenge; another group created a Web site calling for a boycott of Virginia companies and tourism.
The marchers demonstrated yesterday against Mr. Marshall but were careful not to cause too much disruption to his quiet cul-de-sac.
It was not clear whether the delegate was at home; no one answered the phone in the afternoon.
Earlier in the week, Mr. Marshall called the march a "very long step in a very wrong direction," saying it had forced him to cancel a high school graduation party for his son.
As the marchers approached, they put picket signs in a pile on the roadside so as not to pass the Marshall home with too "negative" a message, said Kirk Marusak, who as founder of Equality Prince William organized the demonstration.
"We want to work with him, not send a negative message," Mr. Marusak said.
Mr. Marusak's partner, who gave his name only as Tony, said he was bothered that "the straight community has such fears of the gay community."
"The truth is we're really no different," Tony, 47, said. "You have your extremists in any group, and we have ours. They tend to be the drag queens and things of that nature, but that's not who the majority are. We're your neighbors."
Tony said he and Mr. Marusak have been together for four years, since meeting at Dignity Catholic Church in the District. Though the two are not "married," he said, those who "settle down and make a home together" should be afforded the same rights as anyone else.

Equity Investments - DDM and the Earnings Multiplier
The Components of An Investors' Required Rate of Return
- Real risk-free rate - This rate assumes no inflation or risk is prevalent, but that it is simply generated by the supply and demand of the markets.
- Expected rate of inflation - This rate anticipates the potential inflation that is going to occur in the market.
- Risk premium - The premium is reflective of the risks inherent in the stock, as well as the market. Such risks include liquidity risk, business risk and general macroeconomic risk.
The Country Risk Premium
The country risk premium is the general risk of a security inherent with the foreign country related to the security.
A country's risk premium includes the risk from unexpected economic events in a country and the risk from associated political events.
The country risk premium should be added to the general risks a security faces when estimating the required return for a foreign security.
The Implied Dividend Growth Rate
A company's dividend growth rate can be derived from a company's ROE and its retention rate.
The retention rate of a company is the amount of earnings a company retains for its internal growth. A company's ROE is the return on the funds invested back into the company. Keep in mind that the growth rate of the firm is the identified ability of a firm to grow its operations and the ROE is the return the company is able to earn on invested funds. The company's growth rate can be calculated as follows:
Formula 13.7
|Growth rate = (retention rate)(ROE)
Example: Estimate a dividend growth rate given ROE and retention rate
Newco assumes a constant ROE of 15%. The company anticipates a retention rate of 60% to fund new projects (indicating the firm will pay out 40% in dividends). What is Newco's dividend growth rate?
g = (retention rate)(ROE)
g = (0.60)(0.15)
g = 0.09 or 9%

Are names destiny?
Here's a question: to what extent does your name shape your personality ... and your life? Is the girl named Fleur doomed if she's not a very feminine type? Does the boy whose parents called him Maximillion have to be a thrusting, powerful go-getter? What do you think? michelle_sb

They definitely don't have to! I think often authors use them because they help the reader along with the character development depending on the name, but it certainly isn't a necessity. It could make for an interesting character is their personality was the exact opposite of what their name connotes.
July 28th, 2013 05:25 PM #5
I want to know where this magical 'name personality' dictionary is. Who would dictate the decided personality of a name?
My name is Cecilia Anne, an extraordinarily feminine, frilly name meaning Blind Grace. I've always been a tomboy, having been raised with two brothers and no sisters. In popular culture, Cecilias are snobbish, b!tchy, spoiled brats, and while I likely satisfy the b!tch part of that I'm not all that snobbish or spoiled.

I actually think it is rare or interesting if someone's name really truly fits them.
I know a little boy Max whose name fits him to a tee. He is crazy active, bubbly but with an old soul.
I've never felt like my name fits me very well...

"From Dying Nails To Nails To Die For" is a very accurate slogan Duri lives up to. If you are not a chemical-sensitive and overly-cautious diva, you need this in bulk, because you are guaranteed a Naily Godmother status upon gifting it to all of your struggling friends. Use exactly as directed: freshly manicured base followed by a religious 7 day reapplication and removal. Too good to be true? I was determined to prove that and ended up looking like an idiot with perfect Essie Bordeaux fingernails that outlasted a week of dishwashing, cleaning, gardening and countless picking and prying. Shellac what?! Just make sure to add a fresh THIN coat first thing in the morning in order to prolong the life of your manicure; it dries in a flash so there's virtually no waiting. Despite the healthy lifestyle, my nails are as fragile as butterfly wings and this is the only thing I rely on in order to have nails that look like overlays.
IMPORTANT: after 7 days you MUST remove the nail polish and give your hands a break for at least 24 hours before reapplying. Ideally, you will do this before bed time, give your hands a nice oil soak and let nature do its magic as you rest. For the remainder of the month you are to use this only as a base coat and if your nails are still not as strong as you'd like them to be, reduce the reapplication to maximum of 3 times a week, as excess formaldehyde will turn your nails from hard to brittle, destroying all your efforts.
DOWNSIDE: because this is a formaldehyde-containing polish, it will get thicker and harder to apply halfway through the bottle. Since I repurchase this all the time, I don't bother diluting. I wait until I have at least two bottles, add a chopped garlic clove (degermed, please!) into one bottle, top it with contents of the other, leave it in a dark place and forget about it for 7 days. Voila! Garlic treatment you read and heard about without wasting a perfect bottle of base coat on.

Only strengthening polish that works! I used to have very flaky and soft nails. With this product my nails are strong, long and beautiful. I now get comments on them regularly.
Rejuvacote improves natural nail color and looks beautiful over polish is looks similar to a gel manicure. I have been using this product for months, initially it required daily application but now my nails are strong on their own provided I apply a base coat every week or so. I will be repurchasing this product very soon.

When I was looking around for a popular (and one that works!) nail growth/strengthener/hardener, I stumbled upon Duri Rejuvacote, which boasts as being a nail growth system. It worked for a bunch of people and for that reason, I caved and bought it.
Now I'm days short of a month of usage on and off (consecutively for a few days, then under my nail polish, sometimes with Nail Envy on top, etc) and I've noticed a significant growth! My nails used to break and snap off, becoming soft in the water (Fun story- I snapped all of the nails on my right hand washing my hair once.) but after using this, I've noticed they're stronger than ever and hardly ever bend. I can put these through a hair-wash and still have my length!
For me, I've got about a 2mm-3mm growth on my ring fingers, and these usually only got to half of a millimetre on average! My nails no longer look like stumps so this is now one of my cult must-haves! HG STATUS!

I wish I had tried this sooner! Great as a base coat and I've had no breaks, splitting or peeling since using regularly. It's magic.
Before I was using Orly Nailtrition topped by Barielle Argan fortifier topped by Fiberglass Network and using Mavala Scientifique every two weeks, which is really hard to keep off the surrounding soft tissue.
Duri Rejuacote I works better than anything I have tried. I have healthy nails that don't peel or split for the first time in my life. Definitely need one backup on hand minimum.

This stuff is absolutely amazing! Follow the directions on the package. Use as a base coat, apply polish over it, and use as a top coat. Then add another layer every day for 7 days or until you feel like changing polish, and repeat! It's just as shiny as most of my other top coats, and dries quickly, too. Additionally, putting on one more coat each day makes my polish last much longer than usual! I have been using Rejuvacote off and on for a couple of months now, and it has helped my nails grow in stronger and longer than they have in a long time. Would recommend to anyone!

I'm going to sound like I work for this company but I don't. I'm a nurse and I change polish about every week.
I loved how effective the original version was for strengening my nails, but I was weary of the ingredients.
They now have rejuvenate 2 which is 3 -free. Not sure what other two chemicals are but it is definitely formaldehyde free.
They must be listening to their customers.
I apply thin coat on top of my manicure every day or every other day. I apply thick coat to my right second and third nail as those chip very easily on me.

In 2000, Duri Cosmetics launched its Rejuvacote nail treatment. Now, Duri�s founder and chemist Faina Ritz has created Rejuvacote 2, a new "super" version with a powerful formula designed for more �sensitive� nails. �The formulation for Rejuvacote 2 was developed for users who experience skin reactions and irritations from anything including some naturally derived ingredients,� said Ritz. �We wanted to create a product that could provide a nail treatment usable for the people with more sensitive skin and nails.� According to the company, the unique formulation is designed to not only extend the life of a manicure, but to ward off dryness and encourage strong, healthy nails to grow. The intensive strengthening formula contains keratin and calcium to mend split nails.

as long as i can remember, i've always had pathetic nails (& i'm not a nail biter), but thanks to rejuvacote, i finally have real, functional nails! i've been using this product as a base coat for about 2 weeks & my nails are growing like crazy! they're no longer splitting or bending or peeling or breaking like usual. this stuff is truly a godsend. i will forever repurchase!
